tossed sticks into the water, which the dogs were eager to swim out for
and bring back. Then Bunny had an idea.
"Sue, let's go in wading!" he cried.
"Oh, yes, let's!" she agreed instantly; and without saying anything to
their father or mother about it the two took off their shoes and
stockings and were walking about in the shallow water near the shore.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown, with Uncle Tad, were sitting in the shade, looking
out over the beautiful lake. They were glad they had come on the little
excursion, and the trouble of the broken spring of the automobile seemed
turned into something good now.
"For," said Mrs. Brown, "it has given us a chance to camp out and to see
this lake, and I would not have missed this sight for a great deal."
"Nor I, either," said her husband. "But suppose we go to take a look at
the waterfall before lunch. I know I'll want to take a nap after I eat,
and then it will soon be time for Mr. Jason to come back for us, so if
we don't go now we may miss it."
"That's what I say," agreed Uncle Tad, and the three arose from the
fallen tree on which they had been sitting. Just then Mother Brown
caught sight of Bunny and Sue.
"Look at those children!" she cried.
